Who needs a scratchy Christmas Jumper when you can be just as festive with a brightly coloured technical base layer from Marmot.

A versatile cold weather layering piece, this zip-neck midweight baselayer harnesses the performance technology of Polartec® Power Dry® recycled polyester to provide quick-wicking warmth and rapid dry time. Cocona® activated carbon naturally controls odor and provides UPF 40 protection. Stretchy Elastane, forward seaming and raglan sleeves allow for optimum mobility. Despite being described as "midweight" this is quite a substantial base layer that will really keep you warm in cold conditions and could even be used as a mid-layer in milder weather. With £10 off the RRP our price for this is £45 (available in the Peebles shop while stocks last)

For the rest, in 20 years products have got lighter, more breathable, more efficiently waterproof, more specifically designed for a particular end use rather than generic…
